I wear 8.5 in all sports shoes so ordered that size. My previous Rykas are 8.5 as well. This shoe was a 'tiny' bit too long and a 'tiny' bit too wide across the breadth of my foot. Note I have narrow feet. Between the length and width the shoes are not right for me - but - they were super comfortable and I really wanted to keep them. Decided to return and get an 8..I hope they fit cause I really like the feel. I don't care that much about color or look, it is all about the fit and wearability for me. Asking about the fit above, not really a half size larger and for a true medium width foot would have been ok...I liked this shoe a lot.

I wear a 7M shoe and ordered these in 7.5. The fit was great-lots of cushion but my heel immediately slipped out of the shoe as I walked. I did not see any way to tighten up the laces to fix the heel slippage so I will be returning.

I like the shoe but it does not seem to have as much support as the New Balance shoes I have been wearing. But they are sufficient for my daily Jazzercise classes.

The shoes are great, I bought them for Zumba. Comfortable for most use. I didn't discover until dancing and turning that they impact my bunions and cause discomfort. I need a shoe wider or higher across the ball of the foot but this was the widest offered and they came highly recommended, so I took the chance without trying on.

Love this shoe, I keep buying the same ones. Am a Jazzercise instructor and these offer great support and cushion. One thing though: I've been getting all-black, this time I got the black/pink and the quality seems a little different. Ex: the tongue seems flimsy so I have to be more careful putting the shoe on so the tongue doesn't fold. Also, my socks seems to slide down, that never happened with my previous pair. Not sure why there's a difference. I hope Ryka is not trying to cut costs on materials.

I can't give this shoes 5 stars since they bother me at the top, under the shoelaces, it has too many stitches and folded parts and, if you leave the shoelaces too loose aren't comfortable.
O hope using them, the parts that bother me will flatten out and they be OK.

Very comfy shoes,great support... except 6 eyelets and when I walk, the bend is right at where my toes end. Think if there was only 5 eyelets the bend would be on the top on my foot instead of the bend of me toes. Still with that happening...great for zumba. Will try another style next time.

This is my first time trying Ryka shoes, and I bought these for Zumba. I have a wide toe box, and these were roomy enough without rubbing on my little toe. I normally wear a 9, but a 91/2 in running shoes, so I tried a 91/2 and there was plenty of room after my big toe to allow for swelling and balega running socks. The sole is slightly rigid, they are moderately cushioned, and there is a pivot spot to allow for quick pivoting in Zumba so as not to catch on floor and make you fall on your face. Nice shoe.

Fit is good with orthotics so am very happy. Did not buy for style as much as for decent support and Ryka reputation for fitting women's feet well.

First pair had to be returned becasue they were too short. I have other Devotion shoes and bought the same size, but no go! The new pair is fine. I have about 14 pairs of Ryka and find they have not been of the quality they were years ago. However, they are better than most other brands.

I like the shoes overall, but they are too wide, especially in the heel. I added a Spenco polysorb insole with the original insole, drilled loop lock holes for the laces and it still feels like my heel is going to slip out. Please please someone make a narrow aerobic shoe.

Excited to try Ryka for high impact aerobics. After trying different brands of Nike which I know better not to do but I did it anyway for the look I went for these records. If you’re doing any kind of high-impact aerobics I would recommend at least trying this brand. I have not physically done a class in them as I’m doing that next week because I just got them but they are so incredibly cushioned and I can’t imagine there being any trouble with lateral support . Once I wear them I will submit another review

I love Ryka workout shoes and that is the only brand I bought for my daily jazzercise. I am so excited to see this new color however, I only gave 4 stars as it is not as comfortable as the Blue/hot pink color which is the same model only different color. I have all the colors of the Devotion XT training shoes, only the Blue/hot pink color is the best. The other colors are good, but not as the blue one made me like dancing on cloud while providing full support of my feet. I believe that is the reason only the Blue/hot pink color won the award.

Good shock absorption but not as well for lateral support. Teach Jazzercise so supported lateral movements are a must

Lightweight all purpose walking shoe. Fit and comfort as expected. Footbed not too hard, not too squishy.

This is the most comfortable shoe ever! I wear them all day and no problem with my feet. No pain. I have worn other tennis shoes and my feet are throbbing at the end of the day I can be on my feet all day and my feet are fine with this Ryka. My only complaint is they don't last. After wearing them only 3 months, I got holes on both right side. I wish the material was stronger and last longer. For the price, they should be better quality.

Although these shoes were a bit heavier than I thought they would be, I love how comfy they are and the great support while doing Refit.

The shoes suffice my cross training needs at this time. I am looking for something a little more supportive for my feet.

These shoes are a bit big, so I put an insert in from another pair of Rykas. Otherwise, they are fine.

I really like the lightweight feel and flexibility of these shoes. For me personally I had to add an insole for extra arch support and cushioning.

Just purchased these shoes and the fit is good (thanks to an on-line printable sizing gauge), inner support seems good, and they look great. Having said that, they are still new and so only time will tell how well they wear. The seams on one shoe press in a bit on my left foot (by the pinkie toe at the widest part),and the outside soles seem thinner than previous (different brand) shoes that I'm used to, so I feel the floor through them a bit more. Otherwise, as I said, time will tell how well they wear.

I use these shoes for Jazzercise only. There is more give than I would like for side to side movements but overall I think that they will last for 100 classes before they have to be replaced
